Khrone 648 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) I know that i'm noob (still LV 18 and Magical DK), but here are my suggestions: Exhalation of Darkness: 1st: Increase the buff duration to 6-8 seconds (in any level of the skill or increasing according to the skill level). 2nd: Make it 2 separate buffs: The first one causes Stun to the enemy and lasts 4s, the second one lasts 8-10s and deals Magical Damage on the next hit. 3rd: Full rework: Increase the duration and the cooldown too to make it balanced. Increases Accuracy only for basic attacks and/or Attack Speed, bewitches the weapon to deal Magical Damage on the next hits with a chance of causing Stun. I don't like this, but it's an option. Steel Hurricane: 1st: Give it another effect besides damage. Right now, the ONLY effect of this skill is dealing damage around the character, but Knight's Curse is a lot better (deals a lot more damage) and even has one more effect (increases damage caused to the target). It could be anything, like the skill has increased Penetration, it pulls enemies (like Templar's basic skill), anything. 2nd: Make it deal both damage types. The skill would deal 2 hits, one dealing 120% of the Physical Damage of the character and the other dealing 120% of the Magical Damage. That still looks weak but you know, better than nothing. 3rd: Make it deal part of the sum of the character's Magical and Physical Damage as true damage. There isn't any skill on the game (iirc) that ignores 100% of the enemy's defense, but to make it a balanced skill, decreases a lot the % of the damage (like 50% of the PDMG + 50% of the MDMG or even less). I don't like this option too much because it looks broken, also, DK is a tank, not a damager. 4th: Increasing the % of damage. Simple, right? Will it make the skill useful? Well, depends on the % of the damage caused, but i doubt that it will become better than Knight's Curse. Saturation: 1st: Remove the HP cost. I don't know how to say it more clearly. 2nd: Like Chieftain's Rugged Hide (and the Bear skill that i forgot the name), make it give 25% of Vampirism + a X% based on the lost HP (but no more than 50% since you can get Vampirism from equipments too). 3rd: Make it a constant skill, but instead of X mana/2s, it would cost a bit of HP each 2 seconds. 4th: Make it cost HP according to the skill level, so you wouldn't use 10% HP already on 1/4. 5th: Make it a passive. You permanently lose 10% of your HP but gets 25% Vampirism. Yes, that's cursed. And NO, i don't want it to happen. Secret Reserves: I don't use this skill and i don't intend to buy it so early, but here are my simple suggestions: 1st: Decrease its cooldown by at least 30 seconds or even 1 minute. 2nd: Make the cooldown reset after dying, leaving arena, etc. Blood Protection: 1st: Decrease its cooldown. 2nd: Increase its duration. 3rd: Besides decreasing damage, it would also give Cooldown Reduction depending on the lost HP (like 1% of cooldown for every 2% of HP lost at 4/4, idk) or just give CDR without being affected by the HP.

Higgings 1824 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Points 1 and 2 from Steel Hurricane are intriguing and interesting. I like the concept a lot. I said enough of Saturation as well. Idk personally what else should be done in order to let them get that the HP cost of this skill is complete nonsense.

But it deals so little damage, especially on 1/4 (70%, seriously? At least it has a short cooldown) I mean, i would already have Knight's Curse 3/4, so maybe i could use Hurricane to finish the remaining enemies around me But... Since i'd have Curse 3/4, i would like to use Sharp Shadow as a single-target high damage skill (like Curse to kill weak enemies and Sharp Shadow to finish the tough ones), idk The only single-target damage i have is the Exhalation + Thorns combo that almost everytime it's just "Thorns combo" Also, there is the Stun chance. It's low on 1/4, but it's still a chance Spoiler at least higher than the chance of hitting Exhalation of Darkness 38 minutes ago, Higgings said: I would've gone with Blood Protection.

With the magic damage, life steal and critical, it has a good regeneration, with physical defense and robustness, it has a good defense, at t5 you may have some difficulty because of hydrophobia, but if you have the talents and lasting defense, you should be able to turn solo, apart from that magic dk is very useful in gvg and war.

Not exactly last wish but could be cool if they had an ability that revived them after dying but with a debuff that drains their health rapidly, and if they kill someone the debuff disappears.

Something like that: Bonus: You can choose a name! Type: Passive When the Health Points drops to 1, restores part of it but increases damage received for some time.

I just think a "self-revive" skill should have another extra effect besides just "reviving" else it would be broken But there are other similar skills like Barbarian's Last Wish that does work on Arena and he also has a healing skill (25% HP lol) or Paladin's Sacred Shield that is a second HP bar. What about just healing 12-24-36-48% of the HP without any drawbacks? Depending on the situation, healing 12% of the HP is just delaying the death, and 48% is reasonable, considering you would need to put it 4/4. Spoiler In my opinion, that's how Secret Reserves should work, because really, who cares about Health Regeneration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
